Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband Chapter 191
Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Interview?
Veronicaâs heart tightened, and a bad feeling arose.
The reporters were always interested in her because she was Tiffanyâs younger sister, which was why she had always kept a low profile.
But this time, the incident happened suddenly, and she was worried about the companyâs employees, so she took the risk to go to the office. In the end, she was still pursued by reporters.
Veronica didnât want things to be publicized, as she was worried that her adoptive parents in the countryside would be worried when they found out about it, so she said to her employees, âIf you want to resign, go to the finance department. Those who want to stay and continue working will get double pay this month and half a month off with pay. Remember, as long as Iâm around, your salary will never be reduced!â
â¦
With that, she gestured to her assistant, âHelp me keep them out. Iâm leaving now.â
Shirley Wilson was Veronicaâs newly recruited assistant. After a week of contact with Veronica, she still admired her a lot, so she nodded and said, âOkay, Veronica. You can go first. Leave this to me.â
âThank you.â
Veronica patted Shirley on the shoulder, then slipped away through the back door.
After leaving the office, Veronica had nowhere to go. She reached out and touched the access card in her pocket, then finally chose to walk to Twilight Condominium to avoid being pursued.
Now that Matthewâs affairs had been exposed by the media personnel who had sneaked into the wedding, not only had she become the target of reporters, she was also afraid that it had angeredâthe Larsons. For all she knew, at some point, she might be assassinated by a killer sent by the Larson Family.
For half an hour, she walked the streets alone while wearing a face mask, At this moment, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
Taking out her phone, she saw that it was Matthew calling âHello! Matt-â
âIâve sent you a location. Come over right away.â
âWhat? A location? Where are we going=âBeep, beepâ¦
He had only said a couple of words over the phone, and he didnât even give her a chance to finish her sentence.
Veronica couldnât help but feel a little irritable listening to the beeping sounds. She opened WhatsApp and saw the location Matthew had sent. After hesitating for a while, she stopped a taxi and went to the specified location.
It was an abandoned factory on the outskirts.
âWhat is he doing here?â
As Veronica muttered to herself, she paid the taxi driver, then walked out of the car.
When she approached the factory warehouse, she saw several cars parked outside the entrance, one of which belonged to Matthew, and there was another car with a license plate that she was familiar with.
An inexplicable sense of tension suddenly emerged, and she was stunned for a moment. Then, she accelerated her pace and trotted into the warehouse.
âSob, sob⦠Donât hit my brother. Sob, sob⦠Donât hit himâ¦â
âXavier, are you okay? Xavier? Sob, sobâ¦â
As soon as she walked to the entrance of the warehouse, she heard the wailing and painful cries, but the voice was particularly familiar.
When Veronica walked in, she saw Matthew dressed in a suit, looking like a gang leader. He had one hand in the pocket of his trousers and a cigarette in the other. Smoking indifferently, he stood in front of two rows of bodyguards who were standing side by side.
On the other side was Melissa being held down by two bodyguards, who were gripping her arms and pressing her to the ground.
She lay woefully on the ground, tearfully looking across the room while sobbing incessantly.
A In the center of the warehouse, six well-trained thugs surrounded Xavier. He was hopelessly outnumbered, but he struggled like a trapped beast.
âStop it! Matthew, what are you doing? Stop it.â
Veronica rushed up to Matthew and shoved him. âWhat are you doing? Are you crazy? What are you doing with Xavier and Melissa?â
It was all happening so suddenly that Veronica didnât understand what was going on at all.
she However, she could vaguely guess that Matthew kidnapping the two of them must be related to the events of todayâs wedding.
But Xavier was by no means that kind of scumbag.
Having been shoved by her, Matthew stood as steadily as a mountain. He flicked his cigarette butt and slightly raised his eyelids, then he took in the anger and anxiousness on her face.
For a while, it was impossible to say whether he was jealous of her concern for Xavier, or if he was particularly annoyed that she was fooled by Xavier.
âNow that youâre here, why donât you ask him yourself?â Matthewâs expression was solemn, and a chill appeared in his eyes.
âSob⦠Veronica, itâs great that youâre here. Quickly beg Matthew to stop hitting my brother, pleaseâ¦
Sob, sobâ¦â
âVeronica, please save my brother. I can give you money. I can give you a lot of money. Sob, sobâ¦
Donât hit my brother. Sob, sobâ¦â
Melissa burst into tears, and tears rolled freely down her cheeks along with snot. It mixed in with the ashes on the ground, which got stuck to her face.
As the daughter of a well-known family, she had never suffered such humiliation before. But, in this case, she was more concerned about her life. How could she still care about her image?
Having been knocked to the ground by six people, Xavier lay on the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face. He curled up in pain and stretched out his hand to cover his abdomen. His head was against the ground, and his feet were propped up on the ground. He tried to get up several times, but it was a useless struggle.
At this moment, the scene of Xavier being stained with ashes and humiliated was something Veronica had never seen before.
She was used to seeing his mischievous smile, so she couldnât help but feel her heart ache for him now.
âXavier, are you okay?â
1meo a PALIW Veronica ran over and helped Xavier, who was lying on the ground and couldnât get , up. Looking him up and down, she asked, âWhy are you so badly injured? What did you do to make Matthew do this to you?â
Team Xavier was covered in mud and ash. His face, nostrils, and the corners of his mouth were covered with blood stains, and his injuries were severe.
He staggered as he stood up, and Veronica continued to hold him up when she noticed him being unsteady. âSay something. I asked you a question.â
She waited for a long while, but still didnât get Xavierâs answer, which made her extremely anxious.
Facing Veronica, Xavier felt a little guilty, and although the words came to his lips, he couldnât bring himself to say it.
He smiled bitterly. âDo you feel distressed to see me like this?â
âAre you crazy? Itâs gotten to this point, yet youâre still joking around? Do you think this is funny?â ;
Veronica was furious.
âSob, sob⦠Iâll talk. If my brother wonât, then let me.â
Melissa, who was held down on the ground, struggled a few times, but she couldnât break free, so she cried and said, âItâs Matthew. Sob, sob⦠Matthewâs wedding was ruined, and heâs saying that Xavier and I sabotaged it. Sob, sob⦠Heâs too deceiving. He has no evidence, so how could he just insist that my brother and I did it? Sob, sob⦠We donât have any motives at all. Sob, sobâ¦â
Before this, Melissa was completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter.
It was only at the moment when she had fled to the airport and boarded the plane but was ambushed by Matthewâs men and taken away did she feel impending doom.
Fortunately, she had wiped out all the evidence. Although she couldnât prove her innocence, there was no evidence that she had sent someone to poison Tiffany.
Veronica pursed her lips and turned to look at Matthew. âIs Melissa telling the truth?â
